Wonderful News

JR Motorsports, owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr, announced Tuesday that he owns the #88 sponsored by the U.S. Navy. It's a multi-year agreement starting next year in the Busch Series.

The driver will be Mark McFarland, currently second in the points, in the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series division (also running for Junior) in the #32 WINFUEL-sponsored Chevrolet.

JR Motorsports is owned solely by Junior. He co-owns Chance2 with Teresa Earnhardt his step mother. And, of course, he is part owner of DEI (Dale Earnhardt Inc).

I couldn't be happier for him, and I wish him and his new team much success next year.
